Answer to Question 2

There are two official forms for calculating the Means Test in a bankruptcy case. The first form is used for debtors filing for Chapter 7 and is calculated on Official Form B22A Chapter 7 Statement of Current Monthly Income and Means- Test Calculation. Completing Official Form B22A determines whether there is a presumption of abuse, no presumption of abuse, or the presumption is temporarily unavailable. The second form is Official Form B22C Chapter 13 Statement of Current Monthly Income and Calculation of Commitment Period and Disposable Income. This form must be completed by debtors filing under Chapter 13, whether by default because they do not qualify for Chapter 7 or voluntarily because it has been determined that filing for Chapter 13 will allow them to keep some of their assets. The debtor must calculate monthly income from all sources except Social Security benefits. The debtor is allowed to deduct expense amounts according to National and Local Standards. National Standards are monthly expense amounts based on nationwide figures and are considered the allowable living expenses depending on the size of the family.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
